The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their first child and could be forced to move out of Kensington Palace.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly keen on moving into a lavish 21-room apartment in the grounds of the palace, but a source has said that plans to do this were scuppered.

Now sources are saying that the royal pair could end up leaving the palace altogether, due to the current residents, the Duke of Gloucester, 74 and his wife Birgitte, 72, indicating they do not wish to move, reports The Mirror.

Prince Harry moved into the two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of the palace in 2013, and Meghan moved in after the official announcement of their engagement in 2017.

The move was reported to have been planned earlier this month, but sources say was postponed due to the Duke of Gloucester and his wife's wishes.

"Birgitte doesn’t want to leave," one of Birgitte's friends reportedly told the Daily Mail. "And why should she? She and her husband are still full-time working members of The Firm and they were given their apartment by Her Majesty."

Last week, a social media post sparked speculation that Meghan Markle is further along in her pregnancy than first thought, as it was believed that she was around the 12-week mark when the announcement was made.

Australian singer-songwriter Missy Higgins posted a picture on Instagram that indicated Meghan may actually be four months pregnant.

She wrote: "What an honour to meet the beautiful Duchess today! She was such a sweetheart.

"I said I felt sorry for her having to do all these meet-and-greets while 4 months pregnant! What a trooper."

Sally told the Express: "My chosen dates for the birth are April 17th or 18th when the Moon is in Libra, as this matches Meghan’s Moon Libra and Harry’s Venus Libra, both feminine influences, suggesting a baby girl.

“Plus, the Full Moon culminates in Libra on April 19th and more babies are born when the Moon is ripe and full.”
